Our Verdict
This is a relatively low-risk purchase g
When inspecting this specific DN71UBY vehicle, your primary focus should be on the front suspension. The 2025 MOT recorded a worn front inner suspension arm pin or bush; you should ask the seller for documented proof that this component was replaced or repaired. A worn bush can lead to uneven tyre wear and handling issues if left unaddressed.
Beyond the suspension, check the service history to see if the higher-than-average mileage has been matched by regular oil changes, especially as this is a 1.5L turbocharged petrol engine. Given the model's aggregate data suggests tyre and brake pad replacements are common failure points, check the remaining tread depth and pad thickness before committing to the purchase.
As a 1.5L Euro 6 petrol model, this Karoq is likely to sit in a moderate insurance group and tax band. Fuel economy for this engine size in a compact SUV is generally efficient for mixed driving, though costs will vary based on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs for this model are typically predictable, but you should budget for the wear-and-tear items identified in the aggregate data, such as tyres and brakes. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,400-£1,700.
Specifically address the advisory from the October 2025 MOT. Inspect the front suspension area for any signs of play or knocking sounds when turning the steering wheel or driving over uneven surfaces, which would indicate the suspension arm bush issue persists.
Additionally, perform a thorough check of the tyres and brake pads. Since these are the top failure reasons for the Skoda Karoq across the 53,702 vehicles analysed, ensuring this specific unit has healthy components will prevent immediate post-purchase expenses.
Registered in January 2022, this white 1.5L petrol Karoq has covered 22,572 miles, which is notably higher than the model average of 8,432 miles per year. The MOT history is sparse due to its age, showing one pass with no defects in 2024 and one pass in 2025 with a single advisory regarding a worn front inner suspension arm bush. While the mileage is higher than average, the vehicle's recent history shows it remains within a standard operational window for a modern petrol SUV.
The Skoda Karoq shows a strong aggregate MOT pass rate of 90.8% across a large sample of vehicles.
